Liberals Try to Take Out Supreme Court Justices Over Abortion Decision

Attorney General Todd Rokita and his Democrat challenger Destiny Wells squared off in a debate aired on Fox 59 and CBS 4. While there were no moments that were likely to alter the outcome of the election, Wells clearly got under Rokita's skin on multiple occasions. And according to Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, it was a comment by Rokita about the employment of Wells in the AG's Office that could have ramifications for the incumbent down the road. Shabazz, along with host Rob Kendall and former State Senator Jim Merritt discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.

Will Rokita's Comment on Wells' Employment Alter AG Race?

After a lackluster debate performance in his one-on-one debate with Jennifer McCormick, some Republicans were worried about the state of Mike Braun's campaign. But Braun appeared to ease concerns and reset the race in the second debate, with a much stronger performance. Some are giving credit to the appearance of Libertarian Donald Rainwater on the stage. Not only did Rainwater take away much of Democrat Jennifer McCormick's direct firepower at Braun, but many of Rainwater's positions made Braun come off as more of a middle ground of the three candidates. On this week's Statehouse Happenings, Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss the post-debate state of the governor's race with less than a month to go.

Did Rainwater Help Braun?

A new poll commissioned by Indy Politics has Republicans up big in all statewide races against their Democrat opponents...but one. While Mike Braun is ahead of Jennifer McCormick by seven points in the race for governor, his advantage is far less than the double digit leads the rest of his fellow Republicans hold. Which has left some asking, is there a path to victory for McCormick? Rob Kendall, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz, and Jim Merritt discuss on this week's Statehouse Happenings.
